With BTC in such a strong uptrend atm, are you buying altcoins right now? A lot of them are kind of 'cheap' and have been falling while BTC have been increasing.
Yes, the altcoins are cheap, very cheap compared to bitcoin or ethereum and also more pofitable than the big coins in the market. with altcoin you can easily see 20% up which is very hard to see with major coins.

So far in 2018, Telegram's rumored initial coin offering (ICO) has been the talk of the industry - a remarkable feat given the global messaging platform's executives have yet to utter those three letters together or confirm the company is, in fact, raising money via a sale of tokens called "grams." Yet, the story's popularity stems not only from Telegram's tight-lipped CEO Pavel Durov, but also from the billions of dollars his team reportedly plans to raise through the sale. Despite the company's efforts and strict non-disclosure agreements, which are keeping most news about the largest crowdsale in history under wraps, things have leaked here and there. continue reading - https://www.coindesk.com/telegram-ico-know-dont-2018s-biggest-token-sale/

A senior executive for Goldman Sachs believes that cryptocurrencies - at least those that might one day be created by central banks - could be "incredibly useful." Sharmin Mossavar-Rahmani, chief investment officer for Goldman's Private Wealth Management unit, spoke with Business Insider in an interview published Tuesday. During the conversation, Rahmani notably remarked that "we think cryptocurrencies in their current format, meaning that in the current incarnation, are in a bubble." "The bitcoin prices are astronomical. Then we compare that to ether, and ether is even more astronomical," she went on to say. "So clearly, these valuations don't make sense to us." continue reading - https://www.coindesk.com/goldman-sachs-exec-central-bank-cryptos-incredibly-useful/

Trading profitable coins based on trading volume is always more profitable than just HODLing more specially when the market is going down. For me, I'll always prefer trading than HODLing.

its been long time btc is down when it will grow up
Well, it appears the bitcoin has started it journey for 2018. You should invest now in bitcoin before it is too late, remember last year the bitcoin price has started skyrocketing around this time.

Very soon they'll all realize their miskates for not believing on bitcoin early. When bitcoin hit $50k that is when they realized their mistake while it is too late to cry... hahaha

Well, I think many people are buying bitcoin because the price is now cheaper compare to the previous months. Lots of people will buy bitcoin now and hodl it for the future.

Wow so I can buy a chicken burger using my gizmo QR-Code for $4.99 and I only need to pay $30 in transaction fees to miners to make this happen.
LOL It's not going to happen because no one can buy Chicken Burger for only $5 and pay around $30 for bitcoin transaction fees.

Bitcoin is not Ponzi Bitcoin is not Bitconnect. Bitcoin is a digital currency and also a digital store of value. Bitcoin is both currency and an asset to hold for long-term for profits.

Before things got crazy there was steady solid growth. Maybe things are just getting back onto that line? Bitcoin price went through what is called the market correction and I believe the bitcoin price will recover probably in the first quarter 2018.

I personally never heard of such a thing. As long as your account is verified with real documents and your funds are not from suspicious activities (anything illegal), there is nothing to be afraid of.
Yeah, that is basically it! Once your account is verified you are free to do any type of trading. And by the way, most of the exchanges do have their limits in terms for the initial investment.

Now when BC is sky high and ETH also pretty high. DO people even give their real money for those currencies. I mean give 300$ for 1ETH or 6000$ for 1BC is too much for most people. I mean how often do people buy crypto currency like ETH and BC
People that have the money can buy and use bitcoin or ethereum at any given price. If guys like you can't buy them at such price the others whose know their value will do.

What do you think is the biggest problem/what's lacking with current crypto exchanges? There are quite a few of them, they're making hundreds of thousands a day and yet I can't help but notice some things like...
-> Terrible, inexistant support (on most) -> Verification takes weeks -> Reliability (uptime) sucks
Personally what I'd like to see most is an exchange with FLAT FEES. Wtf why are all percentage based? With stocks you usually pay like $5-$10 per order. Here you end up paying hundreds if you trade bigger amounts.
So... what's yours?
Yes, Almost all exchanges work based on percentages these days and people end up paying a large amount of money while exchanging or transferring their money in or out of the exchange. They are making so much money off the people every day and it still appears they don't really like upgrading their services that is why people are encountering problems such as bad customer support, Verification takes weeks, and the uptime sucks.

There is no comparison between cryptocurrency and the stock market. Cryptocurrency market can jump 100% plus within 24 hours which can never happen in the stock market. I think you have made a wonderful decision for switching to cryptocurrency market and very soon you'll see the reward in it.

Currently bitcoin and ethereum rule over all cryptocurrencies,especially bitcoin. If you had some money to invest in another alternative which crypto currency would it be and why do you choose that altcoin. its fine if you suggest multiple as i dont plan to invest all my extra savings into a single altcoin.
Ethereum is a great altcoins but there are few altcoins that are better and more profitable than Ethereum such as Ripple, IOTA, ADA, and ZCoin.

I have mainly used coinbase, but want to expand the portfolio. Leaning toward Binance, Poloniex, Bittrex in that order. Any suggestions?
My best exchanges are HitBTC, BitFinex, and Liqui.io - I found these exchanges to be the best of all my business exchange and transactions.

all the major exchanges are not accepting new registrations where can i register?
Go to Shapeshift.io - there is no need of registration there. You can exchange all of the major coins there. With shapeshift exchanging coins is very easy.

The best way to overcome fear while holding bitcoin is to focus your energy on another thing that way you can have a peace of mind.
